“A manager at icebreaker convicted of sexual molestation”

“Elsa was exposed: ”I had dreamed of working at sea””

“Elsa Hatz Grandin manager asked if she used the hand to ”wipe the pussy”. “

“Then he threatened to throw Elsa out of the ship if she is not followed to the cabin and left the urine sample.”

“– All had just been down if I had not pushed it here, ” says Elsa Hatz Grandin.”

“the Man denies, and claims that he asked if the hands were ”skitta”.”

“the Incident occurred in August 2017. Elsa Hatz Grandin, 34, had studied for four years at the marine school in Kalmar and was weeks from completing his training.”

“Then I got everything to an abrupt end.”

” I had dreamed of working at sea. But I don’t see how I’ll be able to have a career in an industry that can’t handle this type of issues. You are so incredibly vulnerable, and it is not worth it for me, ” says Elsa Hatz Grandin. “

“Followed by the industrial area”

“Elsa Hatz Grandin was hired on an icebreaker that was in a port outside Luleå. She and her manager, was invited over to a boat operated by the maritime administration and was ten minutes ‘ walk away.”

“the Manager, who is in his 50s, was drunk and started asking intrusive questions about Elsa having sexual relations with a former manager. When she was on the toilet he grabbed her hand and asked ”are you wet, you dried the pussy with your hand?” This is supported by the witness evidence from the boat, in assessing the district court.”

“Himself claims the man that he asked if Elsa had washed their hands, ”or are they still skitta?””

“When Elsa left the boat and went home to the ship by the fate of the industrial area followed the boss after. He came up with further claims about who she had sex with and pointed out that he was her boss. If she didn’t come to his cabin and ”left the urine sample”, she would be thrown off the boat.”

“– That night I didn’t sleep. But I was also worried that I would lose the job. “

“Right: ”Repeated violations””

“the Luleå district court writes to Elsa Hatz Grandin suffered repeated violations of their sexual integrity of a parent person, partly in front of other people.”

“– It was degrading. Partly jätteobehagligt that this was my boss, that I don’t even know and in a situation of dependence. But a ship is not just a workplace, but a home. I lived with this man and it makes the whole situation untenable.”

“the Manager was sentenced Wednesday for sexually harassing 54 000 sek in fines and to pay 10 000 sek in damages to the Elsa Hatz Grandin. “

“the Case is referred to as the first time a sexual molestation at sea is being legally challenged.”

” It’s a huge relief that I can drop it here now. But this put me in a fucking seat. I of course wanted the job, and was dependent on it financially after four years of study, ” says Elsa Hatz Grandin.”

“the maritime administration deleted ”tystnadsavtal””

“Elsa Hatz Grandin and the manager was employed by a contractor to the maritime administration. Aftonbladet has previously reported how Elsa had to write on a tystnadsavtal. Then asked the designated man to his superiors at the icebreaker to delete the e-mail with the minutes of the meeting with Elsa, which the manager did. Something that is WELL criticized.”

“the coast guard director-general, says that they started a programme after the event, both in the maritime administration and the contractor, that they have met Elsa several times after the incident and offered her a new position.”

“Elsa herself says that she met someone from the maritime administration until three months after the event.”

“– What is so crazy is that it all just had been down if I hadn’t pushed on all of this. The Swedish maritime administration has provided me with the relocation, but of course you have to move on the perpetrator, not the victim?”

“Katarina Norén, director-general of the Swedish maritime administration, says that the man gradually understood the seriousness of the incident and that the alleged man is at least temporarily moved from their position. And that Elsa offered new internship – not the relocation.”

“– We have tried to support her. And I am absolutely not behind tystnadsavtalet signed in and deleted the email, this was completely against all our procedures. “

“That the verdict would be guilty was not unexpected for the director-general.”

” I think it is good that the verdict will. It just shows that we need to work even more to get an attractive industry in which everyone should enjoy and feel good, ” says Katarina Norén.”

“now Work as a yoga teacher.”

“After the incident in August 2017 and the tystnadskultur maritime administration, which she experienced Elsa Hatz Grandin given up dreams of a career at sea.”

“Instead, she has saddled on to a yoga teacher.”

” I don’t see it as possible, given my own safety, to have a career and grow in this industry. It is sad, ” says Elsa Hatz Grandin.”

“the maritime administration has a goal of 25% women in its core activities to 2027. Elsa, they seem to have lost, but the director general says that they are happy to offer her opportunities to come back.”

” We are completely dependent on skilled manpower. I can only say that we are working for it to not happen again, ” says Katarina Norén.”

” Aftonbladet have searched the man’s lawyer and the company he worked for. NT says the lawyer that they will appeal the ruling. It is unclear what happened with his employment.”
